I agree with Keith Angus Page, but it also gets me to thinking that the inertia of Bons life at the time, i.e. touring, etc, being on the road, was kinda making it hard for him to settle in a normal life. i.e. playing in the band, had + points in his life, but it could also be a silent nightmare, the things the fans never see, rock & roll excess, drink, women etc, was his way of putting a front on his loneliness as a person, he was longing for a time when he had more money, and less touring to do, so he could find a true love in his life (woman) and settle down with someone who would love him for who he was & not just coz he was Bon Scott the frontman of the hard rock band AC/DC, & get rid of his bad habits of drinking to excess, & breaking girls hearts coz his life on the road prevented his promises staying true, even though he may have wanted them to be. It is a sad song, because we all know that unfortunately he never reached that peak until after he died, & so his dreams never were fulfilled. If there is an after-life then Im quite sure Bon would have thought of this song, and be remorseful that he had to leave this world, without fulfilling these wishes, which many of us easily take for granted in our lives.
